Se espera que el presidente Donald Trump anuncie el viernes su intención de nominar a Kevin Warsh como el próximo presidente de la Reserva Federal, según dos personas involucradas en el proceso.

Trump, que ha estado sopesando la decisión durante varios meses y había reducido la lista de candidatos a cuatro en las últimas semanas, declaró a los periodistas el jueves por la noche que había finalizado su elección y que haría el anuncio formalmente el viernes.

“Creo que mañana anunciaré una gran elección”, comentó Trump al llegar al estreno del documental de la primera dama Melania Trump. Trump no mencionó a su elección.

Warsh se reunió con Trump en la Casa Blanca el jueves, según una persona familiarizada con el asunto, y los funcionarios de la administración se han estado preparando desde entonces para que el exgobernador de la Reserva Federal sea el candidato de Trump.

La Casa Blanca y Warsh no respondieron de inmediato a las solicitudes de comentarios.

Trump se negó a revelar públicamente su elección, y funcionarios de la administración advirtieron que nada era definitivo hasta que Trump lo anunciara directamente. Varios funcionarios señalaron que Trump ha cambiado su opinión sobre el mejor candidato varias veces a lo largo del proceso.

Pero Trump parecía decidido a tomar una decisión el jueves por la noche y los preparativos para un anuncio de la Casa Blanca estaban en marcha, dijeron las personas.

“Será alguien muy respetado, alguien conocido por todos en el mundo financiero”, afirmó Trump. “Y creo que será una muy buena elección”.

Warsh, el director del Consejo Económico Nacional, Kevin Hassett, el CEO de BlackRock, Rick Rieder, y el gobernador de la Reserva Federal, Christopher Waller, fueron los cuatro candidatos finalistas en consideración.

Trump mantuvo entrevistas personales con cada uno de los cuatro candidatos finalistas como etapa final de un proceso que concluyó a principios de este mes.

Trump ha mencionado a Warsh desde hace tiempo como uno de sus principales candidatos para el puesto y se reunió con él en diciembre para su entrevista formal.

El encuentro fue valorado positivamente por sus asesores, y Trump les dijo a sus allegados que creía que Warsh había hecho un buen trabajo. También dejó claro que Warsh, según una persona que habló con él sobre la reunión, “era el candidato perfecto”.

Warsh fue gobernador de la Reserva Federal durante cinco años tras ser nominado por el presidente George W. Bush. Fue considerado para altos cargos económicos durante el primer y segundo gobierno de Trump, y se le consideraba una posible candidatura para secretario del Tesoro antes de que Trump designara a Scott Bessent.

Warsh también fue considerado por Trump en 2017 para el cargo de presidente de la Reserva Federal, que finalmente recayó en Jerome Powell.

“Mucha gente piensa que se trata de alguien que podría haber estado allí hace unos años”, indicó Trump a los periodistas el jueves por la noche.

Trump rápidamente se desanimó de Powell en su primer mandato y ha atacado y criticado al presidente y a la Fed sin descanso durante el primer año de su segundo mandato.

SAN DIEGO, Calif. (KEYT) - The UC Santa Barbara men's basketball team won their fifth straight game Thursday night, defeating UC San Diego for the first time since the 2022-23 season. The Gauchos did not allow any second-chance points and limited the Tritons to their lowest scoring output of the season.

HOW IT HAPPENED
Both teams started cold, combining to go 3-for-10, and the Tritons narrowly led 4-2. Out of the first media timeout, the Gauchos scored on four straight possessions to take a 13-9 lead. The Gauchos got two three-pointers from CJ Shaw, one three from Colin Smith and an easy lay-in by Marvin McGhee IV.

The Gauchos kept extending their lead through the middle part of the half after back-to-back threes by Miro Little and Shaw put the Gauchos up 20-11. Momentarily, UC Santa Barbara led by double digits, but a basket by the Tritons cut it back to single digits.

The remainder of the period was back-and-forth, with the Gauchos taking a slight advantage late as they went into halftime with a 13-point lead, 35-22. The Gauchos forced the Tritons into tough shots throughout the first half as they made just nine field goals, shot 33.3 percent from the field, and 22.2 percent from beyond the arc. Santa Barbara also forced eight turnovers.

The second half started much like the first, with the teams shooting just a combined 21 percent from the field. The Tritons made two baskets and three free throw enroute to an 8-2 run that cut the UC Santa Barbara lead to seven.

Coming out of the first media timeout, the Gauchos went on a 7-0 run of their own to take a 14-point lead with just over 12 minutes remaining. After extending their lead to 14, the game would turn back-and-forth through the middle part of the half as the Gauchos hung on to their double-digit lead.

Down the stretch, the Gauchos took over. Zion Sensley hit a second-chance three-pointer before Little put the Gauchos up 17 at the three-minute mark after a pair of free throws. The Gauchos held on to the double-digit lead down the stretch
